GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The Michigan Winter Beer Festival is 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Fifth Third Ballpark and, for the thousands who were fast enough to score a ticket before they sold out in just three hours, it’s a guaranteed good time.

But I’d like to make it even better for one lucky ticket holder.

If you have tickets to the event, I can offer you the chance to upgrade your ex-beer-ience.

Here's my VIP package:

Fast Pass You and a friend (who also must have a ticket) will get early entry to the event beginning at noon, without having to wait in line.

Fave Five: Get five beers of your choice, which will not cost you any tokens, without having to wait in line to get them.

Custom ice mug: The beers will be served in your very own ice mug, designed and carved by "Ice Guru" Randy Finch.

To enter, list the five beers you are most looking forward to sampling at this year's festival in the comments section below or on my Facebook wall.

On Thursday, Feb. 20, at 5 p.m., I'll randomly draw one of the comments as the winner. Those five samples, your early entry pass, and seats at the ice bar with ice mugs will be waiting for you.

The only limitations to your selection would be timed releases. So, if "Beer X" is a timed tasting that doesn't start until later that afternoon, you should leave it off of this list and plan to stand in line for it.

IMPORTANT: Include your email address if you use the comment section to enter.
